Mary Geoise, Pangu Castle.
Inside the Room of Authority, three of the Five Elders, and 'Stinky Ox' are here.
At this moment, the Room of Authority is filled with a heavy, suffocating atmosphere, as if even the air has frozen solid.
'Stinky Ox' had just stirred up a big storm in Elbaf and cleverly played a series of divisive tricks on Loki.
Once his scheme succeeded, he rushed back to Mary Geoise without stopping.
However, to his surprise, shortly after his return, shocking news reached his ears.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling, two of the Five Elders, had gone to Egghead Island in the New World together, but had disappeared without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air.
Worse, reliable information indicated that they seemed to have completely lost contact, and their fates were unknown.
They contacted Egghead Island, and the answer they received was that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling, along with a group of Marines, had transported the Mother Flame away long ago.
But now, except for Akainu who has returned to the Marine headquarters, all the other warships have completely lost contact.
Such abnormal circumstances, like a bolt from the blue, caused a strong sense of unease to surge in his heart.
Therefore, he rushed into the Room of Authority anxiously, eager to find the remaining three Five Elders.
When he finally saw Saint Marcus Mars, Saint Topman Warcury, and Ethanbaron V Saint Nusjuro, he was surprised to find that the three men's expressions were unusually serious, as if they had already foreseen the worst possible situation.
"Then... according to the three of you, could it be that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling have already been killed by that villain Ryuen?". 'Stinky Ox' spoke with a gloomy face and a low, heavy voice, his eyes flashing with anxiety and worry.
Saint Topman Warcury's face was serious, and his voice was low and slow as he responded:
"At present, only this possibility makes sense. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why the two of them lost all contact after separating from Sakazuki, as if they had vanished into thin air. You must know that the Mother Flame they possess is of great significance and extremely important to our World Government! They understand the importance of this matter, so there is no way they would lose contact under any circumstances! After thinking about it, there is only one reasonable explanation left: they must have encountered that mysterious and ruthless Dream Investigation Team! Perhaps it happened so suddenly that the two of them didn't even have a chance to send out a distress signal before they were killed by Ryuen!".
Saint Marcus Mars nodded slightly, agreeing with what Saint Topman Warcury said:
"That's right, the three of us think the same thing. At first, we even suspected Sakazuki for a while, but we quickly dismissed the idea. After all, in terms of strength alone, he simply doesn't have that kind of ability! The lava he controls is indeed extremely hot, but compared to the terrifying flame controlled by Ryuen, the temperature difference is like heaven and earth! Therefore, with Sakazuki's skills, it would be a fool's dream to defeat Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling!".
'Stinky Ox's' eyes, which were so heavy that they seemed to drip water, shot straight towards the window like two cold beams of light.
At the same time, an invisible force surged from his body, which was the powerful Observation Haki he possessed. This Haki spread rapidly towards the entire Mary Geoise like a surging tide.
Time passed second by second, but the short few seconds seemed particularly long.
Finally, 'Stinky Ox's' low and worried voice slowly sounded:
"It seems we're really in big trouble this time... Based on the information we have, we can confirm that the Dream Investigation Team is planning to attack Mary Geoise, and this is definitely true! What's even more troublesome is that they obviously have a very special and efficient information acquisition channel. They must have learned that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling were about to go to Egghead Island. That's why these cunning guys were able to set up an ambush on the way ahead of time and launch an attack with lightning speed. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling didn't even have a chance to call for help before they were cruelly killed by the other party in an instant!".
Speaking of this, 'Stinky Ox' paused slightly, took a deep breath, and then continued:
"It is especially worth noting that the strength of that guy named Ryuen has definitely improved significantly compared to the last time he showed it Now, he has probably become an extremely terrifying existence! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling before they even had time to call for help!".
However, there were some things that 'Stinky Ox' didn't say out loud.
In the deepest corner of his heart, an unspeakable sense of unease lingered like a shadow.
This feeling initially felt like a faint electrical current, appearing and disappearing, but as time went on, it gradually became stronger and clearer.
Recalling the details of this incident, the things that the Marines are showing now are really confusing.
At first, he didn't notice anything strange about it.

However, when the World Government noticed the unusual behavior of the Marines some time ago, everything began to become confusing.
Thinking about the series of tricky problems we are facing now, a terrible thought gradually emerged in his mind - something irreversible has happened to the Marines!
Perhaps for others, this is just baseless speculation and conjecture, but only he knows that the situation inside the Marines is far more complicated than it seems on the surface.
Especially Garp and Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru and other high-ranking Marine officers, their hatred for the Celestial Dragons is no longer a secret.
All along, they have been dissatisfied with the actions of the Celestial Dragons, and even hate them deeply.
But it was these two people who, after learning that the Dream Investigation Team was planning to attack the holy land of Mary Geoise, chose to conceal it from the World Government and secretly dispatched the elite forces of the Marines to gather towards Mary Geoise.
What's even more unbelievable is that the reason they gave was to protect the safety of the holy land, so they needed to secretly deploy in advance to prevent a sudden attack by the Dream Investigation Team.
He could not accept such a statement no matter what.
He knew Garp and Sengoku's character very well and did not believe that they would work so hard for the Celestial Dragons, even at the cost of violating normal procedures.
There must be a deeper reason and conspiracy hidden here, and he is determined to uncover this mysterious veil and find out the truth of the matter.
"I'm going to find the Marines!". After saying this, 'Stinky Ox' immediately left the Room of Authority.
Because he noticed that Sengoku and others had also come to Mary Geoise...
...
After a dozen seconds of silence, Ethanbaron V Saint Nusjuro slowly said:
"He suspects the Marines may have rebelled...".
